Andres Muniz

Warehouse Manager

Why I wanted to join the team?

Loved the idea of the participatory culture and the more I read about what was going on in Barking and Dagenham the more I wanted to join everyone every day. I really like to enable people to build stuff and to give people a sense of control over using complex machinery.

A little bit about your background?

Degree and masters in Industrial Engineering. Ten years experience in the National Physical Laboratory working among other things as a Higher Research scientist, CAD designer and a Facilities Manager. Two years managing my own Community Interest Company (C4AD) where I was doing prototyping business to business from a makerspace in Canbury Works and being tech support for other communities. In my free time I co-founded a Hackspace called Richmond Makerlabs which is a member managed community craft workshop.
